First U.S. H-Bomb nuclear weapon detonated on October 31, 1952 on Enewtak, an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, as part of Operation Ivy.Ivy Mike was the first H Bomb test, it was exploded at 7.15 am local time on November 1st 1952. The mushroom cloud was 8 miles across and 27 miles high. The canopy was 100 miles wide. Radioactive mud fell out of the sky followed by heavy rain. 80 million tons of earth was vaporised. Mike was the first ever megaton yeild explosion. I think that this footage is available in the TRINITY AND BEYOND (The Atomic Bomb Movie) movie ()Over 2,000 atomic bombs have been detonated worldwide since 1945.

Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission (atomic) bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT. Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstrations. Only a few nations possess such weapons or are suspected of seeking them. The only countries known to have detonated nuclear weapons—and that acknowledge possessing such weapons—are (chronologically by date of first test) the United States, the Soviet Union (succeeded as a nuclear power by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, the Peoples Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. In addition, Israel is also widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, though it does not acknowledge having them. One state, South Africa, fabricated nuclear weapons in the past, but as its apartheid regime was coming to an end it disassembled its arsenal, acceded to the NPT and accepted full-scope international safeguards.I had uploaded a shorter version of this video earlier and deleted it. That video resurfaced on another YouTube-account. Someone appears to have downloaded it and uploaded it by himself: ...

Taken with a Rapatronic camera, combined into moving images. More about the Rapatronic camera and the tests here: ... ... And here: ... Others shot with an OBrien camera, developed by Brian OBrien ... ... The photograph was shot by a Rapatronic camera built by EGG. Since each camera could record only one exposure on a sheet of film, banks of four to 10 cameras were set up to take sequences of photographs. The average exposure time was three millionths of a second. The cameras were last used at the Test Site in 1962. The images shows the growing fireball, taken about one millisecond after detonation. There are two striking features about this picture - the spikes projecting from the bottom of the fireball, and the ghostly mottling of the fireball surface. The peculiar spikes are extensions of the fireball surface along ropes or cables that stretch from the shot cab (the housing for the test device at the top of the tower) to the ground. This novel phenomenon was named a rope trick by Dr. John Malik who investigated it. The effect had been observed in earlier test
